Salty Nomans Tek? Questions on salting STB methods.

[alpharex]

Hi,
Ive tried nomans tek, based on revisions in notes. However I borrowed from Cyb's Max Ion, and salted the aqueous mix (MHRB and Lye), i used 10% NaCl, my formula was 50g MHRB to 750mL H20 and 75g NaOH. Added lye to water, then added MHRB after lye dissolves. Then added the NaCl (75g). Dissolved all this and after about 15m started pulling with Naptha. The MHRB was finely powdered prior to adding to the water.

So far the naptha pulls seem nearly clear. I am wondering if the salt is too much, or going to create interference? I have several solutions in freezer to see what comes. Pulls are first 100ml, followed by two at 40mL.

has anyone tried this?

Your ratios look fine. You wouldn't need more more than 50g of lye for that volume but the extra doesn't hurt. Clear pulls isn't necessarily a bad thing. Pulling at room temp often gives a couple of clear pulls. You might want to evaporate a small amount before freezing. If the solvent clouds when you blow on it then it's ready. Salt just helps push the water and solvent apart, as does excess lye. You should be good

Your clear pulls may well produce some lovely, fluffy white crystals - some pics of the results would be most welcome
